Assisting the troops question

[RIFT]

I am an electronics tech for a major corporation and an ex-Army solder that was in the Persian Gulf war. I have been trying to think up a possible way to assist our troops in the roadside bomb issue they are having over there. Most, if not all of the devices use electronics (cell phones and other things) to set the bombs off. I figure the best thing would be to disable the electronics under the roads before the trucks went over them. I have been tossing several ideas around the shop and would like more input.

An pulsing emp in front of the lead vehicle would be the best solution, but since emp’s are only created by nuke blasts, this is a no-go. One idea I wanted to toss off everyone here is the idea of an electromagnet.

If an vehicle had a large metal bar in front of it, with wire wrapped around it and passing large amounts of electricity through it, would this not create a large enough magnetic and electric field to disable electronics in the nearby (10 foot) area?

Im not sure if something this simple would work, and I would love some replies on your thoughts. If anyone has other ideas, please throw them out.

Hi

Sorry to say this in this forum;
As I remember within these two years in electronic Lab, All people Teach good thing to each other;
But this time I think Electronic Lab community is going to teach How to kill people;

So I Do not welcome you PERSONALLY;

Who is trying to kill anybody? To me it sounds like the opposite, a way to avoid getting killed!

well i guess if you are the one they are after and your bomb does not kill them then they will kill you sooo in a strange way it is helping to kill someone...but i belive that the orangal message was ment for good not to kill????

If you want to blow the devices before you “step” on them, I have seen someone (on a web page) using a magnetron from a microwave to zap a running computer a couple of meters away! The magnetrons in your average micro might not be strong enough for (ground work) but bigger are made for other applications.

The object is to DISABLE electronic equipment that would set off the bomb. These are not landmines, they are explosives detonated by electronic means, be it radio waves or other ways. Is there a way to DISABLE the electronics?

I was hoping the combination of mass electricity and magnatisim would do the trick.

the best ways are herf guns ,thats high energy radio frenquency guns and scalar waves, herf gun circuits are in the forums somewhere ,  you may like to look at the min emp boc circuits to

:)the magnetrons in microwave ovens are used to make the home made high energy radio frenquency guns , these were said to be able to set off land mines at a distance ,  but if you have the powerfull version i think useing the millitary magnetrons  you may get lucker then
